deferred income taxes are determined based on differences between financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the
enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences reverse.
Earnings Per Share.Basic net income per share has been calculated based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive
securities.
Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications of certain prior year amounts were
made to conform to the current year presentation.
Estimates and assumptions. Preparing financial statements in conformity with

Note 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION
- ----------
There is an action pending in the Circuit/Superior Court of Marion County,
Indiana entitled Kenro, Inc., on behalf of itself and all others similarly
situated against APO Health, Inc. The lawsuit involves unsolicited broadcast
faxes sent in the state and has been certified as a class action suit. The
Company has petitioned the court to certify its class action certification order
for interlocutory appeal. If the Company can defeat the class certification,
then the plaintiff is limited to a single violation with a maximum potential
recovery of $1,500. If the class certification issue is lost then the Company's
exposure can range in the millions of dollars. The Company has filed a suit
seeking indemnification by or contribution from the vendors who sent the faxes
on behalf of the Company. It is the Company's belief and contention that
damages, if any, which may be awarded to the plaintiff are covered by insurance
up to policy limits.
However, on October 24, 2001, the Company was named as a defendant in Merchant's
& Business Men's Mutual Insurance Company vs. APO Health, Inc. Merchant's &
Business Men's Mutual Insurance Company issued a Commercial Blanket Excess
Liability insurance policy to the Company for one year commencing February 27,
2000 up through February 27, 2001. Merchant's & Business Men's Mutual Insurance
Company alleges in its complaint that policy coverage with the Company does not
extend to the allegations set forth in the aforementioned Kenro suit. The
Company, however, disagrees and contends that the policy issued by Merchant's &
Business Men's Mutual Insurance Company obligates them to cover any damages that
the Company may incur, as a result of an unfavorable verdict in the Kenro suit.
On July 1, 2002, the Court granted the intervention motion of the Kenro
plaintiffs, and, as a matter of law, denied Merchants' motion for summary
judgement and granted the Company's cross-motion for summary judgement, and
finding that the claims asserted against the Company in the Kenro lawsuit fell
within the terms of the Merchants' policies. As a result, the Court ordered that
Merchants has a duty to defend and indemnify the Company in the Kenro lawsuit.
Additionally, the Court found alternatively, that the disclaimer of coverage by
Merchants was untimely, so that Merchants would not be allowed to rely upon or
raise any coverage defenses. The Court also found that the Company is entitled
to be reimbursed for the legal fees that it incurred, and ordered that a hearing
be conducted to determine the amount that Merchant owed. Merchants subsequently
filed a motion for reargument of its unsuccessful summary judgement motion, and
papers in opposition have been submitted by the Company and the Kenro plaintiffs
to the Court. The Company and the Kenro plaintiffs have argued that the Court
should adhere to its original decision for a variety of reasons. Merchants has
also filed an appeal to the Appellate Division from the Court's July 1,2002
Order, and in the event the Court adheres to its decision, it is expected that
Merchants will again notice an appeal, and move to have the two appeals
consolidated.

notice to terminate the agreement.
Note 9 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions .At times
such balances exceed the insured limits of the financial institution. The
Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it
is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash balances. As of March 31,
2003, the Company had $264,000 on deposit, in excess of the $100,000 which is
insured under federal law.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Revenue for the six months ended March 31,2003 was $22,235,501, an increase of
$8,846,086 or 66.1% over the six months ended March 31,2002. The increase in
revenue was due to an unusually large increase in the distribution of products
to wholesale distributors. The Company does not know if they will be able to
sustain this growth in future periods. Cost of sales for the six months ended
March 31,2003 was $21,101,277, an increase of $8,987,138 or 74.2% over the six
months ended March 31,2002. As a result the gross margin for the period ended
March 31,2003 was $1,134,224 or 5.10% compared to $1,275,276 or 9.52% for the
period ended March 31,2002. The decrease in the gross profit margin were a
result of the increased revenue being wholesale products which have low profit
margins and reduced revenue from the retail dental sales. Medical supply sales
which have a higher gross profit margin than the wholesale sales have increased
but have not yet made up for the decrease in the dental sales. The Company
expects that the increases in sales of medical supplies will make up for the
loss in dental sales and increase the Company's overall gross profit margin.
Selling expenses for the six months ended March 31,2003 were $267,288, a
decrease of $130,575 or 32.8% compared to the six months ended March 31,2002.
The Company has reduced shipping costs by $22,646; commissions by $42,314; and
advertising costs by $110,997. Advertising costs in the next three to six months
will increase as the Company brings out several new catalogues. Travel and
entertainment expenses increased by $33,420, which is related directly to
increased contact with medical and wholesale purchasers.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31,2003
increased by $63,685 or 8.0% from the six months ended March 31,2002. Total
compensation including payroll taxes increased by approximately , 32,000 which
included a bonus of $152,500 for one of the officers for attaining sales levels
included in his employment agreement. Without this bonus, employment expenses
would have decreased by approximately $120,500 which includes the reduction of
two employees and voluntary salary reductions by the three officers of the
Company Other increases included professional and financing fees, which
increased by $21,484, primarily for the Company's new financing agreement.
Insurance increased by $8,992 primarily from the increases in medical expenses.
Other general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $8,500.
Interest expense for the six months ended March 31,2003 was $55,406, a decrease
of $6,787 form the six month period ended March 31,2002. This was accomplished
by entering into a new financing agreement where all collections are applied
against the line of credit on a daily basis and proceeds from the line of credit
are only taken when needed to pay down liabilities. As a result the average
daily balance outstanding on the line of credit has been reduced. The new
financing agreement allows the Company greater flexibility in its ability to
finance increased sales and additional inventory.
-12-
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
As of March 31,2003, The Company had net working capital of $1,354,494, an
increase of $11,872 from September 30,2002.. On October 29,2002, the Company
entered into a new financing agreement which increased its credit facility by
$1,000,000 to $3,000,000 giving the Company greater flexibility to finance
larger receivables and inventory allowing for increased sales.
For fiscal 2003, the Company has reduced its budget for both selling and general
and administrative expenses by approximately $255,000 eliminating unnecessary
expenses and revising some of the operations. In addition the Company expects
that consulting and other professional fees will be reduced by approximately
$150,000 which it estimated were non-recurring items. The above reductions would
provide the Company with income from operations based on the current sales
volume.
Based upon the above factors, the Company believes that it has sufficient funds
for operations for the next fiscal year.

sent the faxes on behalf of the Company. It is the Company's belief and
contention that damages, if any, which may be awarded to the plaintiff are
covered by insurance up to policy limits.
However, on October 24, 2001, the Company was named as a defendant in Merchant's
& Business Men's Mutual Insurance Company vs. APO Health, Inc. Merchant's &
Business Men's Mutual Insurance Company issued a Commercial Blanket Excess
Liability insurance policy to the Company for one year commencing February 27,
2000 up through February 27, 2001. Merchant's & Business Men's Mutual Insurance
Company alleges in its complaint that policy coverage with the Company does not
extend to the allegations set forth in the aforementioned Kenro suit. The
Company, however, disagrees and contends that the policy issued by Merchant's &
Business Men's Mutual Insurance Company obligates them to cover any damages that
the Company may incur, as a result of an unfavorable verdict in the Kenro suit.
